questions about beta 08-09

17 Feb 2015, 11:43

Hola Karl
Why before the beta 0.8 in PageSpeed I scored 81/100 and now with the beta 0.9 without changing anything new update just putting me down to 65/100?
Is it slower now?

Gracias

Your performance score is being penalized for not serving compressed assets (css+json):

I am not sure how this was working earlier but not any more ... I could check a few things if you have FTP for me.
Is it slower now?
It would certainly help if your server compressed those assets, but it is unlikely that it is slower than before. The page performance scores are only based on "best practices", and don't even rate the pure output performance. You still have plenty of performance benefits from latest version that don't sum in in google pagespeed.

In Pingdom, your site is rated 97%

You would likely get a 99% score if the "vary" header was set, and this is related to the lack of compression on your website:

Both the issues above could be automatically solved by using Cloudflare service, but it would be good to get things working perfectly on your server first, regardless.

Although the main issue in google pagespeed is lack of compression, you could also gain a few points by optimizing your logo.

Properly formatting and compressing images can save many bytes of data.
Optimize the following images to reduce their size by 18.9KiB (78% reduction).

Thanks for wasting time with me Karl
what has me a little confused is that prior to v0.8 do not penalize me for gzip and v0,9 if :shock: :shock:
What am I missing?
Thank you so much

Well, I am not quite sure how/why gzip was working earlier but not now ... That is basically what your website is getting penalized for in terms of pure score. I would like to investigate, but that would require FTP ...

Fixed!

It seems your Apache server is a slightly older version without mod_filter, so it could not be used as a condition in the htaccess file to apply compression. I just removed the <IfModule mod_filter.c>, so this is not a problem.

From:
https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerpla ... /.htaccess
html-boilerplate-htaccess wrote: # Compress all output labeled with one of the following media types.
#
# (!) For Apache versions below version 2.3.7 you don't need to
# enable `mod_filter` and can remove the `<IfModule mod_filter.c>`
# and `</IfModule>` lines as `AddOutputFilterByType` is still in
# the core directives.
#
# https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/m ... lterbytype
Now your CSS loads compressed at 33kb instead of 221kb. Big difference!

That should be ok for the forthcoming future ... Unfortunately, it is hard for us to maintain a global htaccess file that suits all servers.

I am exactly in the same case as you JC. So I'll try to check my apache version and what Karl does to accelerate it...

Edit:
Ok after modification (removing the 2 lines with <IfModule mod_filter.c> and </IfModule>
# (!) For Apache versions below version 2.3.7 you don't need to
# enable `mod_filter` and can remove the `<IfModule mod_filter.c>`
# and `</IfModule>` lines as `AddOutputFilterByType` is still in
# the core directives.
I'm now up to 87/100 again (58/100 for mobile...)
Empty your mind, be formless, be shapeless, like water...

hmmm ... I might have to remove this conditional check then. Too bad its virtually impossible to maintain a htaccess file that suits all apache servers ...
